Cost, payment and ownership
What does a website actually cost?
Starting prices, before GST: a landing page from ₹11,000, a business website of up to six pages from ₹16,500, an enquiry website with a page per service and Google Business Profile setup from ₹27,500, a catalogue website from ₹33,000 and an online store from ₹38,500.
Each is the price of a base scope. Every add-on — extra pages, features, a second language, content, integrations, or anything added after the scope is agreed — is priced in writing and charged on top, so the final price is never lower than the starting price. You get inclusions, exclusions, milestones and the price in writing before you commit to anything.
Domain registration and renewal are charged separately, and third-party subscriptions, paid plugins, payment gateway charges and ongoing marketing are not included unless the scope says so. See pricing for the full list.
How do payments work?
For one-time projects, standard terms are 50% advance and 50% on completion. Larger projects are split into milestones instead, each with its own deliverable and payment. Refund and cancellation terms are on the refund policy page.
MUCO Grow follows its monthly or annual payment terms and a 12-month minimum. See the plan terms before starting.
Do I own the code and the design?
For one-time projects, on final payment you own the deliverables, the source code and the accounts. We do not lock you into hosting, a proprietary builder or a licence you have to keep paying for.
MUCO Grow, the monthly plan, works differently: your domain is in your name from day one, and the website is handed over to you if you leave after the 12-month minimum.
How we work
How long does a project take?
It depends entirely on scope, and we would rather give you a real date than a comfortable one. A straightforward business website is usually a matter of weeks; a custom platform with accounts, roles and payments is months. You get a milestone plan with dates in the proposal, and we tell you as soon as anything threatens one.
How quickly will you reply?
We are not going to publish a guaranteed response time, because a promise you break is worse than one you never made. What we will commit to instead: every enquiry is read by the founder, not by an assistant or an autoresponder, and you get a real reply rather than a template.
If you need an answer quickly, WhatsApp is the fastest route.
Who actually builds my project?
MUCO LABS is founder-led. You talk to the person responsible for the technical work, not an account manager relaying messages. Where a project needs specialist help we bring in collaborators and tell you that up front.
Do you use AI to write client code?
We use AI in our own internal tooling and research. For client deliverables the architecture, the decisions and the review are done by a human engineer who can explain every part of what you were given, and who is accountable for it.
Scope, reach and life after launch
Do you work with businesses outside Erode?
Yes. We are based in Erode and work remotely with businesses in Erode, Pallipalayam, Namakkal, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Karur and beyond Tamil Nadu. Project discussions and reviews happen over calls and shared documents. If you are local, the page on website development in Erode covers what that looks like by industry.
Can you fix or improve my existing website?
Often, yes. We start with an audit — speed, mobile behaviour, technical SEO, broken links, metadata, conversion path — and then tell you honestly whether it is worth improving or rebuilding. Sometimes the answer is that your current site is fine and the problem is somewhere else.
What happens after launch?
You can take the project and run it yourself, or take a maintenance arrangement covering uptime monitoring, security updates, backups, small content changes, bug fixes and performance review. Major new features are scoped separately. See maintenance and support for what is and is not included.
Do you guarantee first page on Google?
No, and you should be careful with anyone who does. Rankings depend on competition, domain history and Google's own changes — none of which any agency controls. What we do commit to is the technical work that makes ranking possible: site speed, crawlability, structured data, local search setup, content and honest monthly reporting.
The MUCO Grow monthly plan
Is GST extra on MUCO Grow?
Yes. MUCO Grow is ₹2,499 a month plus a ₹2,999 one-time setup, and both prices are before GST. See the MUCO Grow plan for everything included.
Do I own the domain on MUCO Grow?
Yes. Your domain is registered in your name from day one, not in ours.
What happens after the 12-month minimum on MUCO Grow?
MUCO Grow has a minimum of 12 months. If you leave after 12 months, the website is handed over to you, and the domain is already in your name.
What is not included in MUCO Grow?
Not included: online booking, payments, extra pages, paid ads, photography and third-party subscriptions. Each is quoted separately, in writing. The plan covers 2 small changes a month; anything beyond that allowance is also quoted in writing before we start.
Can I pay for MUCO Grow yearly?
Yes. Instead of paying monthly, you can pay ₹24,990 for the year, before GST: 12 months for the price of 10.
